1960 and 4 year increments.

I think the rationalizing has to do with both the beneficiary class and benefits for the programs. They expanded the SSDI (disability income) under Bush/Democrats in 1990/1991. Clinton recently tried to lower the entry age for Medicare to 1962 and to add universal drug benefits.

Much of the fault lies with the Democratic Congress of the 70's who voted huge increases in SS benefits, some years 20% or more.
